Faulty airbags in Hyundai i20 did not activate even after severe crash on 2017-02-07
" On 7th February 2017 my brother met with a major accident in Noida at 60km/hr after ramming into a truck.
Impact was such that the roof of the car got dismantled after a left side collision.
The car was an Hyundai i20 Sportz 2013 model having 2 airbags in front.
After the crash none of the airbags got activated. If the airbags functioned properly, it could have saved my brother from a head injury and a critical condition he is currently in.
What I want is:
1 proper explanation for failure of airbags in the Hyundai i20.
2 immediate redressal and compensation.
I believed that Hyundai was a step ahead in terms of safety and features in this segment.
My trust has been lost.
Regards,
Owner of 2 Hyundai cars "
P.S: The content has been copied from a post on the Facebook timeline of Hyundai India by Parth Gupta on 2017-02-07.
Attention of Takata Corporation, the manufacturers of the airbags in Hyundai cars has also been drawn.
Airbags not opening up after a collision of this nature can't be justified at all.
Hyundai India should remain with the family of the victim during such distressing times.
Advisory to Indian Roadie fans/ members:
- Say a 'No To Road Rage'.
- While on the road, remain 'High On Cognition'.
